I'm unable to follow your assertion so please help me understand this. > skipping this pre-flight checklist Does this happen? My only knowledge about piloting

  Yes, considered sacrosanct. However, my point was that if you skipped one, it's not a certainty that it would result in death. So if a captain said they should skip a checklist, the first officer might defer to their judgement and not oppose that decision. I was responding to a comment where it was implied that the decision was a definite life-and-death decision.
